Bernie Parent

On the ice as a top goaltender for the Flyers and off it as an ambassador of the game, Bernie Parent lived and met the magnitude of his legendary status.

Bernie Parent, the legendary goalie who recorded back-to-back Stanley Cup clinching shutouts for the Flyers, died on Sunday at the age of 80.

Tuesday marks the 50th anniversary of the Flyers last Stanley Cup championship, both a sentimental memory and a constant reminder of what the franchise is still chasing.

On May 19, 1974, the Flyers became Stanley Cup champions for the first time. 50 years later, the team still walks together forever.

The Flyers celebrate the upcoming induction of Mark Recchi into the Flyers Hall of Fame and 50th anniversary of the 1974 Stanley Cup champion Flyers with an alumni game on Friday.

Wednesday's Flyers press conference with Dave Scott and Chuck Fletcher was another example of just how far the Flyers are from an identity and a sense of direction. It presents more questions than answers, and it runs through a range of emotions that rival the five stages of grief – some congruent like anger and denial and others like irrationality and delusion.

The finalists for the Flyers Hall of Fame were named on Tuesday morning, with six members of the Flyers long and storied franchise being up for possible induction later this season. Here’s a closer look at the six and their case to join the names in the rafters.

After allowing the first two goals of the game to put themselves in another hole, the Flyers gave up another goal in the first two minutes of the second period. The game was essentially over right then and there, because the 18 minutes that followed were not just the worst the Flyers have played this season, they were historically bad.

In a wild, back-and-forth tilt, both teams showed the qualities and identity that they have established. This series has been as hard-fought as they come. Neither team quits. Ever. And it showed in Game 6 as both sides assumed control at different points and as the game drug on into the night.
